Hi,
I'm a real neewbie so please be gentle.
I've rooted my phone and put defrost 5.4 on it.
Works good and i'm figuring out how things work.
I found out now that when i reboot the phone it gets stuck in starting up.
The colors exploding from the left and the right side to become a "X", but then after a while the x is not made any longer and after half an hour it is still trying to make an X.
Take out the battery, put it back and start the phone and it starts normal.
When i install something from the "defrost setup" its downloaded and when i press install the phone restarts, it is unpacking the file, reboots and then gets stuck again.
Have to take out the battery to start the phone again.
What can be the couse of this??
Just found out that also a "normal start" ends up in a endless bootscreen.
The only way to start the phone is take the battery out, put it back and press "start".
Do a full wipe and try another ROM is my first suggestion.
So idid a wipe, after that a recovery (had to start all over again) but the endless bootscreen still remains.
???
1) Find a new ROM and put it on the root of your SDCARD
2) Boot into Recovery by pressing BACK and the POWER button
3) Perform a full wipe (data/factory reset) and cache
4) Flash the new ROM
5) Boot the phone
If you still have problems post logcat.
i've cleaned and whiped (i think) almost everything.
Installed a fresh defrost 5.6.
Installed the defrost apps addon, the phone reboots and a screen apears with a android an a box with an arrow out.
Text is passing by, the phone reboots and starts up.
So far so good, but when i restart or reboot the phone its hangs in this endless lashing coulorfull screen.
I've tried to make a "logcat".
Hopefully it tells you more than it tells me.
i am having the same problem.
first off all: you can press power + volume down + optical joystick to restart phone.
no need to remove battery
my last logcat (with Error filter): www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop.txt
i started to have this problem when i redid the unrevoked process (dont really remember why, thou).
thx for help
edit: not sure but the first logcat looks like somethings missing
heres anotherone without filter www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop2.txt
thx
OK, maybe this is getting somewhere.
I also did a re-revoke, but i do know why.
the first attempt to root my phone ended up in a small disaster.
At the end of the proces i found out that i have a SLCD screen and not an AMOLED, so my phone was as good as dead.
Thanks to someone on a Dutch forum i was able to get my phone back to life.
After that i rooted my phone with the latest version of unrevoked, and this time i was succesfull.
But now i am encountering this problem and it is no fun.
I have at the moment nothing running on the phone because after a re-re-reinstallation i can start all over again with al the apps and so on.
It hangs at the final stages of the boot it looks like.
I had a similar problem when I was messing around with my old framework.
So why you're getting it, I have no idea.
First thing is first Bud
Download DeFrost 5.7 And use the latest version (Illuminate some issues to start with)
What your saying is the Boot Animation (The Multi Colour X animation "Nexus Boot Animation"
You get a boot loop on there....
How long have you left it trying to boot? the first boot after a Reflash does take alot longer than normal as it has to write to a number of files first.
(This only occurs on a New ROM or a Reflash of the frameworks)
So first off Lets Get that latest ROM on the SD Card:
Use w/e method you need to to get it on there
Turn the Phone Off "Where going to load recovery"
Press the Down Volume Key and press the power button Once.
You will see a white screen with Android images at the bottom:
Press the Volume down once (Recovery) when this is highlighted press the power button
Where now in a black screen Press Volume Up and Power
(We should now have a Blue Menu (Am taking it by the issues you talk about your using Clockwork Recover.......)
Go down to Apply sdcard:update.zip
And press the power button. So where now Clock Work Recovery
(If you dont have Clockwork i.e. Fake Flash Update.zip maybe someone can post it for me, Limited for time in work, But search for Fake FLash Clockwork if you dont have it.
Then go down to Wipe Date/Factory Reset
Select the only line that is Populated.
Go back to main menu and go to install Zip from SDCard and press the OJ
Select Choose Zip from SDCard.
Find you ROM and press the OJ
Wait some time and press the back button a few times, and select the reset option?
DO NOT INSTALL NO MODS OR THEMES, THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE AFTER A FULL BOOT OF A CLEAN ROM.
Leave it some time, as the first boot is always the longest.
Fingers crossed you should be OK.
What your talking about is a problem with the ROM (as the bootanimation is called by the ROM)

That'd be my guess too. If you try to apply a mod before you've let the ROM unpack itself it does exactly as you describe.

I've installed the defrost.
After it came in full working conditions i've added the defrost add-on.
Phone shuts down, starts again in the screen with the one doid and a box with an arrow out.
Some writing apears and the phone starts again.
The colours apears and making a cross and this goes faster and faster and then a screen where i have to enter my sim-unlockcode and the phone is up and running.
So far so good.
When i now switch the phone off or give it a reboot ( in the screen after a long press on the powerbutton) the phone starts in the white screen with HTC logo, then the colours apear making a cross, but after time this goes slower and slower until the cross is not ever made again.
The colours appear trying to make a cross and diappear and comming back again, and this goes on for ( i left it once for 1/2 an hour)
I will give it a go with the 5.7
thanks for the help.
Really, i heave my phone for one month now and it is my first android thing.
Never worked with linux etc etc.
What does "press the OJ" means ??
oj = optical joystick
@dave7802
thanks for the answer but i have the bootloop also when i do a manual restart without flashing anything.
i use defrost 5.7
i did a restart after flashing
bye
strange thing to happen. it must be in the ROM because it wasn't happening on the stock ROM.
so try another ROM some like cyanogen or opendesire. is it happening also?
Wel, i've come to the point that i think "WTF", it works and the only thing is the start/reboot.
I'm not going to re-re-re-re sign in to my google account, and not want to re-re-re-re-enter my mail account again.
Thanks to "olaxe" i know how to start the phone wthout taking out the battery.
anyway, everybodie, thanks for reading etc.
OK so you guys are still having the same issue.
Can we provide as much info as possible,
As i use DeFrost 5.7 and i just done a normal reboot and its working fine,
if its a problem with the ROM everyone would have the issue,
All i can think is a MOD you have installed is conflicting,
So some info you can provide:
What MODS are you running / installing, like Super Circle Battery, or Custom HAVS and SVS?
What version where they developed for?
i.e. are you installing MODS that where developed for an older version of defrost? as the frameworks change on each version and so do the HAVS and SVS
If your not flashing anything how about installing it?
It could be an app you used worked for an older version, and since the update its no longer working?

You say you have not flashed anything? and then you said you restarted after flashing? i dont follow?
What settings are you using and apps do you have installed?
What are you doing in clockwork recovery, are you wiping then installing JUST DEFROST then letting your system start up?
or
Are you flashing a couple of things like defrost and super circle battery?
Dave,
A nephew, who ownes a desire and is "into android" from the moment of the first googlephone, was going to root my desire.
The great misstake (we found out after we've dit it) was that he used a version of unrevoke witch was mend for use with amoled and i own a slcd.
So my phone would'nt show anything anymore. Only the bootscreen when pressed vol down and power.
I've followed several advises of diehards, have put "this.zip" on the sdcard, "that.zip" and even "ifthisdon'twork.zip" shoot me.
All i got in the bootscreen was "no image" "no image or wrong image" and "version is older".
After a week a guy on a dutch forum told me to download some files to my computer, take the sdcard out of the phone, connect the phone to the computer and then type the following:
3. Typ in je commandprompt:
code:
1
2
3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom210.zip
After that the phone came back to live and i was happy as a child.
After that i did the unrevoked thing with the latest version and the phone was rooted.
Put the sdcard back, formatted it whitin the phone and after that i placed the defrost 5.4 on the root of the sdcard.
Did the full wipe, dalvikwipe and flashed the defost 5.4
After a while i had the defrost up and running.
In the defrost setup i found the defrost addon.
downloaded it (all IN the phone) and after that pressed "install".
The phone shuts down a screen appears with the one droid and a box, the phone restarts and is up and running.
Then i found in the defrost setup a file "no adds"
Installed that to and then the troubles start.
Hangs in the bootscreen.
I can only start the phone when the power is completely turned of ( battery out) or with vol down, power and trackball pressed at the same time.
Where to start... So I Flashed a stock rom "M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME.tar" with Odin to my M919 3 times with the same result.
Used Odin 307 with PDA and only Auto Reboot checked each time. Flash went fine completed successfully with Pass each time. Unfortunately that's where the
success ended. The phone rebooted with the TMobile Logo and Samsung logos flashing on screen and immediately went "Samsung is Upgrading 155 applications."
After this process it rebooted once again Flashing the TMobile and Samsung logos. Once booted, the phone screen is black with no icons. At the very top of the
screen, I have a battery icon, the time, 4 bars despite having no sim card in and that little eye icon. At the bottom, the back and menu buttons light up when
touched. The phone is recognized by windows and does allow me to browse the file folders. On the off chance that my file was corrupted somehow, I downloaded it
from a second source the 2nd and 3rd times I flashed it. Now I'm stuck. Nothing I do changes this condition.
Please Help!
** After several attempts I managed to get the phone into recovery mode. Unfortunately the phone Is still having issues. The TouchWiz is back and all the icons, it goes through the setup process but it's unable to turn wifi on and it doesn't seem to see my sim card. Aside from a hardware failure of some type, I don't know what this could be.

Have you tried going into recovery and doing a "Factory Reset" and reboot, it might fix the problem.
Also if it does not fix all the problems you can try to boot the phone up just to get into the SETTINGS
screen, then goto settings>accounts tab>backup and reset> and select "Factory data reset" then
reboot the phone if it does not reboot on it's own.
Good luck!
Hi there! Long time user but this will be my first post as I've exhausted all options. A while back i rooted my G3 on marsh mellow, everything was fine until one day it entered a bootloop in my pocket. I went about using the TOT method on androidrootz (I'm not allowed to post urls yet) to revive it as my recovery seemed to have been erased during the bootloop. After much trial and error I got the LG Flash tool to work! but not completely Using upgrade dl gives me the 3 at the end but then continues to bootloop, I tried doing a manual factory reset but it only flashed the factory reset screen and then continued into the boot loop. Another method suggested was to use Board dl, I also had success with that but I brings me to a new problem. After finishing the flash tool it boots to the mini OS and displays Auto Touch Test: Dont' touch the screen! but the screen is completely unresponsive and I can't even tap okay to clear the window. Holding down the power button while tapping does nothing and a manual factory reset doesn't either! So I'm stumped, any help would be appreciated! I feel like I'm so close to having it fixed but i just need that one piece. I either need to solve the bootloop with upgrade dl or the unresponsive mini OS with board dl.
though already posted in the general help thread, I haven't received any reply so starting a new thread.
hey guys first post here so bear with me. Ever since I did the ota update on my ZE551ML of android 6.0 I have been facing problems. Lags, Bugs,hangs everything. So I went into the recovery and wiped data/ factory format. Now that has created a whole set of new problems. Now my phone is stuck on welcome screen(The first screen where you select the languages). There are 3 options there of changing language, emergency call and the next button arrow but unfortunately none of them are working. All three are non responsive but if i press the volume key then the onscreen volume slider comes which is responsive with the touch as well and also If I hold the power key then I can restart and switch off as well so my touch is fine.
I tried adb and fastboot commands to flash different firmware and they all get completed successfully but still when I start the phone, the same screen shows.
Also tried flashing raw firmware using asus flash tool but still the screen is same non responsive.
Please help me on this.
Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML
Last flashed raw file- WW_ZE551ML_2.15.40.13_20150506
some solution?
Any update on this?
I've never installed any rom or anything like that and i don't know much about theese kind of stuffs.
Yesterday it was working fine and then play store services or something kept craching so i decided to reboot my phone. It got stuck on lenovo logo i tried couple times it didn't boot. So i decided to factory reset it by using the thing that comes when i hold power button and volume button at the same time. When that screen came there was a lot of errors. Factory reset is not working or something like that it's just showing the same errors.
I hope there is a solution for it. Thanks.
Just realized i'm visible at the picture. Hi.
Any help?
